Medium Texture, Medium Porosity, Medium Density Hair

Your medium textured strands cover your head fairly well. Medium textured hair is the most common hair type. It is stronger than fine hair because it has more protein structure, but not as strong as coarse hair. It is also relatively elastic and can hold styles well. Because medium textured hair is somewhat resistant to damage, it is easier to maintain length. While your medium porosity hair poses no issues, as it both accepts and retains water equally well, take precautions not to damage it with excessive heat or mistreatment. Medium density hair is versatile, experiment with products, and use various cuts and styles to play up your texture.

Helpful Hints:

Moisture retention: Try a pre-poo with your favourite oil(s) to help retain moisture.

Your Curlprint™ Regimen:

Cleanse and Clarify

Wash hair in sections (4-6 loose twists) so that it is easier to work with.

Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo/cleanser to avoid stripping hair of its natural moisture.

If you’re looking to clarify and remove product build-up, clays area a great option, as they gently cleanse while removing toxins.

To avoid stripping hair of essential oils and moisture try co-washing mid-week (if needed), or even every other week.

Deep Condition

Deep condition once a week.

Be sure to use a deep conditioner and a leave-in with lots of slip and always detangle gently from ends to roots.

Medium porosity hair contains the right amount of protein, so don’t over do it with protein treatments. Try an occasional protein treatment or use a deep conditioner with protein in it to help retain your hair structure.

Moisturize

Use water-based leave-ins and moisturizers. Products that don’t have water will not be effective at moisturizing your hair.

Medium textured hair types may want to experiment with lighter and heavier products.

Seal

Use oils to help seal and retain moisture while preventing breakage. Do this step as a often as needed. Look for oils such as sweet almond, olive, argan, and jojoba oil.

To lock moisture in, use the LOC (Liquid, Oil, Cream,) method, that means layering with a leave-in and an oil followed by a cream.

Style

Play up the versatility of your hair with a variety of styles. Wash n’ gos will let your natural texture shine through, while twist/braid outs will give your hair structure and volume.

Experiment with heavier or lighter creams, conditioners, styling products, and oils depending on the look you are trying to achieve.
